Not all top tens or number ones are hits. You Raise Me Up, Uptown Girl, Listen are more popular, more well known, more covered than idk S&M? SOS? Take A Bow? despite the low peak or failed entry. Nirvana highest peaking single #6. Coldplay only had a few top tens, and of course the Legendary Abba who was a flop or maybe average in US. Few decades later, ABBA's albums are still charting, their songs are remembered. For Barbra and Céline, they have no problem selling albums and tours. Meanwhile, hitmakers like Mariah and Janet are completely irrelavant once they lose their singles power.
